Marvel's Runaways Season 2 Sneak Peek: Building a Superhero Team is Harder Than It Looks

Home away from home.

By Laura Prudom

Season 1 of Marvel's Runaways spends a lot of time establishing the titular teens before they actually, ahem, run away from their villainous parents, but in Season 2 of the Hulu comic book series, our heroes are definitely out of the house and on the lam, which will force them into plenty of dangerous situations and locations they never could've anticipated.

In IGN's exclusive sneak peek at Season 2, we see the Runaways in a hideout that should be familiar to fans of Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's comic - "The Hostel," a sprawling mansion that sank during an earthquake and is now buried underground, making it a perfect shelter for a group of wannabe heroes who are just learning to harness their powers and work as a team.

Nico (Lyrica Okano) seems to be acting as de facto leader, at least for now, while Chase (Gregg Sulkin) and Gert (Ariela Barer) are growing closer than ever - but eagle-eyed fans will notice that there's one member of the team missing. What's Alex up to? You'll find out when all 13 episodes of Runaways Season 2 premiere on Hulu on December 21.

Here's how Hulu describes the new season: "The Runaways have left their homes (and evil parents) behind and now have to learn to live on their own. As they scavenge for food, search for shelter, and take care of one another, our kids begin to realize, for better or worse, they're stuck with each other. And it's up to them to take down PRIDE once and for all. But someone sent a mysterious message to Jonah... Is there a mole in the Runaways? Meanwhile PRIDE is focused on finding their children, and Jonah has his own dangerous plan in mind."
